The Soviet-Afghan War, Prologue: Welcome to Afghanistan

from The Unknown Soldiers Podcast

Before we dive into the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, it's time to get acquainted - or reacquainted - with the Graveyard of Empires. Let's take a look at the peoples, places, and history of Afghanistan before 1979.(Or, to put it another way, I wrote way too much context for Soviet-Afghan War Part 1 and spun it off into its own thing.)Sources & Maps: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/the-soviet-afghan-war-series-maps-and-sourcesEmail Me: [email protected]:Desert City Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/
